    Just curious what you think of the following argument for a one state solution Saif:
     
    The two-state solution, in ignoring the economic life of the Palestinian people, effectively would consign Palestinians to perpetual neo-colonial poverty, writes Lama Abu Odeh*

    The piracy of poverty is always punished, the piracy of of the rich is always "self-defense." I say take it all from the rich, it is ALWAYS stolen property of a specific or systemic nature.

    Dumb ass fleming is at it again - listen, even the "founding fathers" hated wage labor. they said it would make the people dull and dumb, and slaves - so apparently fleming, you are the poster boy displaying their fears...lol

    Fleming, need I remind you of the subject of the post? No matter how much you bray about this "stellar" system, it produces nothing but excessive exploitation and oppression - an attestation to its invalid nature. The very fact that individuals are so oppressed and summarily ignored by the current world system to their destruction and death by the billions, is the reason for its change and long awaited demise.

    Marion its said differently but all the elements are in place.  I support one state.  One vote for each person.  I wish I can write more but I am very busy with my work schedules and I am finishing many project dead lines at the same time,,,,,

    Although I lean towards a one state solution Saif, I will support whatever a majority of the Palestinians choose for themselves.
     
    I think that most of those in Israel and the West who claim they support the two state are not serious enough to make it happen. 
     
    I appreciate your appreciation Saif. It is nice to be appreciated after you have come from blogs or forums where you have been largely unapprecieted .....
     
    Here is some good news:

    Since 1995, Transparency International has published an annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI)[1] ordering the countries of the world according to "the degree to which corruption is perceived to exist among public officials and politicians".[2] The organization defines corruption as "the abuse of entrusted power for private gain".[3]

    It really is Hilarious 
    To think Denmark (1) is the most corrupt and the US (18) is the least.
    I would've thought it's pretty obvious which is which.LOL

    I see you're a bit slow, ding dong.  Let me put it to you like I would to my own pre-teen:
     
    You say
     
    'The fact is, the US is wealthy because its system is less corrupt, more trustworthy and functions more fairly than <span style="text-decoration: underline;">any other</span> in the world.'
     
    My simple point
     
    No true.  Any other in the world <span style="text-decoration: underline;">EXCEPT</span> Denmark, New Zealand, Sweden, Singapore, Finland, Switzerland, Iceland,  the Netherlands, Australia, Canada, Luxembourg, Austria, Hong Kong, Germany, Norway, Ireland, the UK, Belgium, and Japan!

    Informing us that Zimbabwe and Libya are corrupt is your way of demonstrating that the US is not corrupt. Brilliant logic.

    Mister Congeniality says
     
    'your terribly unattractive personality'
     
    I wonder,
    he couldn't be referring to himself, now could he?
     
    'So what the fuck is your point then Nimrod'
    'Piss on you and yours'
    'Fuck, you are stupid and arrogant.'
    'Not to mention pissant'
     
    Darn!  How come I never noticed?  I bet people all over the world are just falling over themselves to acquire such a pristine personality as that of Mr. Congeniality.
     
    :-D
